Off the top of my head I would guess, The General, a Klink or two, Nate, Jay, Borky, etc. and there were some other people on the shuttle bus from other hotels. I know we were getting loud, and at one point someone let out an F-bomb or two. This bothered the bus driver and he pulled the shuttle over to the side of the road and threaten to kick all of us off of the bus. (What are we 12?) It was March and about 3 or 4 in the morning, it had snowed a couple inched the night before, so no one on the bus was in any mood to be getting kicked off the bus and walking, so we all shut up. The bus eventually turned down the road to head to hotel where we got picked up. I figured that no one wanted to ride back to the condo in the back of my truck again and I knew the bus was going to be driving right by our condo. I also knew that I could just pick up my truck in the morning. When shuttle was only a couple hundred feet from our condo, I stand up and start swearing as loud as I can at everyone on the bus. And after our earlier scowling the bus had been pretty quite with just a couple of conversations going on. So my outburst was quite a shock to everyone on the bus especially the driver. The driver started to slow down and then pulled over. I walked up to the front of the bus and the driver was a little reluctant to open the door. To which I said "Well tough guy, are you going to kick me off the bus or what?" The driver was still confused by all of this and just opened the door. Meanwhile, the rest of my group is still on the bus also trying to figure out what I am doing. I yelled back to them as I was getting off the bus "Are you guys coming or what?" It didn't dawn on any of them, that we were right in front of the condo, but they finally figured it out and followed.

Shuttle Bus Story
This story came up yesterday while playing cards and I have begun to make note of these stories to share with all of you. I believe it was two or three years ago, my good friend Jay got married. And I threw him a bachelor party in Wisconsin Dells. I had rented out a condo for the weekend. One evening we had a group that wanted to go to the casino. I called the casino and they said that they would not send a shuttle bus to a residence, but they would pick us up from a hotel about a or two mile down the road. It was pretty cold out and no one wanted to walk. So even though I shouldn't have, I did drive the mile or two down the road to the hotel with about 8 guys in the back of my truck and then we got picked up by the shuttle bus. We got our gambling in and when the black jack tables closed we all jumped back on the shuttle bus. I will have to admit that we were a wild bunch. And to be honest, I can't recall who was along with me.
